I make a feed reader called BlogCat (https://blogcat.org), it is a #Firefox #WebExtension that makes blogging an integral feature of Firefox. For example, right now I'm typing on a sidebar compose window while I browse.
Recently, I started doing #selfhosting and #homelab with #yunohost and set up my own #GoToSocial server which is running this identity you're reading.
Thanks to using a different server than Mastodon, I noticed that status character limits are not fixed. The default value for GoToSocial is much larger than Mastodon default 500 that I hardcoded in.
Now, I patched BlogCat to query the server about such limits thus improving the experience for both Mastodon and GoToSocial and other Mastodon-compatible servers.
Being able to have multiple compatible visions on the #fediverse is what makes it so powerful. Quite happy with this.
#homelab is fun. Just used an old #intel #macbookpro with @yunohost@toot.aquilenet.fr to run #GoToSocial
It is hosting this account :3 at home :3 x 10
So happy with it.
